Biocidal Products Committee: Applicants responsible for making sure their dossiers are complete
Description
ECHA’s Biocidal Products Committee met during the last week of May 2024 and adopted altogether 18 opinions.
Join Päivi Jokiniemi and Joost van Galen, the Chair of the Biocidal Products Committee, in this episode of Safer Chemicals Podcast. They discuss, for example, what happens when the assessment of endocrine disrupting properties is lacking from applications. Joost also comes back to the topic of data gaps and missing information, and reminds companies of their responsibility of making sure that their applications are complete and meet the data requirements under the Biocidal Products Regulation.
The Committee’s task is to prepare scientific opinions for the European Commission on biocidal active substances and on EU-wide authorisations of biocidal products. The Commission takes the final decisions based on these opinions.
